We're all learning here, so don't sweat it. Personally I much prefer a steampunk-y vibe and having the freedom to leave the ship at any point feels really good (could maybe have a better place to land consistently back on the ship). I think the game has a lot of potential, but filling the gameplay loop with interesting interactions will take a lot of playtesting :)
I upgraded the balloons and found an island. It's mostly fine regarding things being intuitive, though the recycling isn't too engaging. I think that for a showcase the upgrades could be cheaper, just so you can show off the game a bit more, because the core loop needs more work. Another thing that I found to be a bit odd is the piloting being on ER as opposed to QE, do you have plans for the Q button perhaps?
Cool game! Love the skyship vibes and the jetpack is very satisfying to use. A bit of a nitpick, but the "hit to fix" could be a bit faster between strikes, to me at least it felt a bit sluggish
The game is very pretty pretty! I do think that for a game where you're supposed to try buttons until you don't hit the one that kills you, the respawn timer is a bit long.
